From the beginning, windows and doors have played a critical role in Modern architecture and design. This presentation will provide a detailed analysis of existing fenestration systems and emerging trends used in modern design. Participants will gain a stronger understanding of architects of Modern design and of fenestration options, technology and performance needed to bring this aesthetic to life.

This course aims to demonstrate the initial planning, research, design, and execution that goes into a large window rehabilitation project through the lens of a key National Historic Landmark, the Cincinnati Music Hall, built in 1878.

Complexities surround the rehabilitation of a historic building: tax credits, standards and guidelines, performance requirements, and the range of product solutions available based on the building’s condition and intended use. This course is designed to educate participants on the importance of fenestration in relation to the building’s exterior, provide best practices to be employed throughout the project and examine how Standards and Guidelines from the US Department of Interior are applied to window repair or window replacement.

The use of exterior glass doors change the experience of the homeowner by contributing to healthier, more appealing spaces and strengthening the connection between indoors and out. This course looks at the variety of exterior glass doors available, their design characteristics, performance considerations, and how they can impact well-being for residential customers.

The exterior finish you select for the windows and doors plays a key role in the durability, safety, and environmental impact of any building. In this course, you will explore industry certification, analyze key performance factors, and learn to apply these insights to select the most appropriate exterior finishes based on specific project needs.

This course will familiarize you with the basic aspects of fiberglass composites, with a specific emphasis on pultruded fiberglass. By examining the performance characteristics, durability and numerous environmental advantages of pultruded fiberglass, the course will outline the advantages of windows and doors made from pultruded fiberglass and use case studies to demonstrate applications across a wide variety of multi-family and commercial build environments where sustainability, durability and human experience are prioritized.
